It's always a good job

Thank you for your feedback. The project was developed for Unix-based systems as per the initial requirements. Unfortunately, some features like pipes are not fully compatible with Windows. I understand your frustration and offered either a discount or assistance in adapting the code for Windows. I will make sure to clarify platform compatibility in future projects.

pcrudaprod

Simon is incredible and has a deep knowledge and understanding in his field. will work with him again.

Thank you for your review. In his App, the client had issues with streaming to social media. The issue has been resolved by debugging and composing a custom static binary.

Great Service. Will come again! Communication skills and delivery where above average.

Thank you for your kind feedback. We worked on a project to optimize green screen processing using ffmpeg. Additionally, I optimized the command and delivered a windows bash script and a Linux Shell command. Looking forward working with you again in the future!

andyfilip

Simon truly delivered top-tier work with his impressive code expertise and proactive communication. Simon instantly assisted me with generating animated subtitles in FFMPEG video creation. I really appreciate that Simon is open to offering further clarifications if needed, which makes him an even more reliable resource!

Thank you André, it was a pleasure working with you.

I had the pleasure of working with Edrsvc on a project that required complex FFmpeg commands, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the results. From the very beginning, Edrsvc demonstrated a deep understanding of my requirements and executed the work with precision and expertise. What sets Edrsvc apart is his commitment to exceeding expectations. Not only did he deliver exactly what I needed, but he also took the initiative to provide additional enhancements that greatly improved the overall functionality. His communication throughout the project was outstanding. He kept me informed every step of the way, ensuring that I was comfortable with each decision and fully understood the technical aspects. One of the most valuable aspects was his willingness to go above and beyond: he provided detailed documentation and guidance, empowering me to manage the setup independently going forward. The project was completed ahead of schedule without compromising on quality. I highly recommend Edrsvc to anyone in need of top-tier technical services and look forward to collaborating on future projects!

tchoune and I developed a way to overlay widgets to a live stream in real-time. The challenge was that we were completely lacking a window server like X11. So we created a fully automated approach to run the system on an Ubuntu server. Thank you for your kind words!

Thanks for the installation. Works well!

Thank You, happy to work with you

Cancelled order. Seller failed to deliver on time!

I worked together with edrsvc the second time! I would do it again. If i you have trouble with Unix/Linux related things, this is the man who has your Solution! Thanks again!

i ordered an ffmpeg installation for my Dedicated server, because i needed the Video-functionality for a running Project. The service was very fast and i got what i needed. The conversation was very great, and because i could talk to him in my native language (german) the conversation was going further than it was really needed for the job.

Very nice contact, the server was a real monster with tremendous performance. Thank you for your trust and the possibility to work with you!

Simon, was quick in suggesting a solution and good in communicating and explaining. Simon works fast and delivers. Thank you, Ivan
